Hello Johnny,
This very controversial .45 cal carbine luger started quite a heated discussion on the "old" Luger Forum, which eventually led to that Forum's demise and to the rise of the Luger Forum as you now see it.
As you can imagine, this debate was quite the affair...and is not settled and may not for some time, if ever.
Mr. Shattuck has traveled with this carbine around the country to several gun shows. As I understand, he always allows any advanced, expert collector to see and handle this pistol in person. Each then can make up their own mind...
You might want to contact Ralph to see if this carbine will be displayed at any upcoming gun shows in your area.
Real or not real; this beginner could never know. But it is one heck of a pistol to hold; either way...
Regards,
Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
